Democrats Warn Medicaid Cuts Could Impact 330K Illinois Residents. Republicans Say Waste, Abuse Need to be Targeted – WTTW (Chicago)

“When you have 25 percent of your population on something like this, something’s not good in the economy,” said  Ted Dabrowski, president of Wirepoints. “Since Gov. Pritzker took over, we’ve had the fourth worst economy in the country. We’ve created almost no private sector employment. When you don’t create jobs and your economy won’t grow, you have more people dependent on Medicaid.”

Ask anyone who works in a grocery store or in healthcare how many people come in wearing expensive clothes and drive expensive cars, then present the “gold card” ( Medicaid and snap cards).

May I also add the ones that show up at the food pantry that don’t deserve or need it.

There’s 330,000 illegals in Illinois?
There’s a fix for that.

Set up Pritzker Clinics populated by doctors from bottoms of classes at third a tier med schools. Better treatment than they’d get in Haiti and great learning experience for embryonic doctors.

“When you have 25% of your population on something like this, something’s not good in the economy,”

What percent of people “on Medicaid” are actually using it, and to what extent. After the last 5 years of lies and deception, I wouldn’t go near a medical doctor unless they drag me there.
